Solar Eclipse Pictures, Captured in Greenville, South Carolina, on August 21, 2017.
Total Eclipse Started from 2:37:11 to 2:39:46 PM EDT.
We drove from Atlanta, Georgia and reached at Clemson University, setup our site to capture the eclipse.
Canon 5D Mark III with EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
I should be hones to admit that I wasn’t prepared 100% for the capture, like my Tripod was not mounting right to focus! I wasn’t having the preparation to help me focus the sun before eclipse, but clouds are my friends, they keep hiding the sun then and there to help me focus the sun without protective filter. After all this I happened to violate the NASA’s safety guidelines a little and took these shots with no protective glasses, by hand holding the camera. So the video was like dancing eclipse but the still pictures came quite surprisingly tolerable :-)
Quite impressive view, in Clemson University, it was a while to get back home, but worth the view!
I also happened to meet a photographer, Karen Bultman, she showed her picture taken sign a telescope connected to her Nikon, definitely, got much better picture than mine :-)
Of Course, there are millions of picture in internet, but taking one on your own is a special experience !!
